Legalize? The drug is a plague to America. Don't anyone say it is not extremely addictive and destructive. I have seen numerous people start with "just pot" and destroy their lives. Some who even stick to "just pot" become complete losers within weeks. I'm Dem., so I am pretty liberal in many respects, but no legalization. We don't need to encourage the destruction of human life.

Ok, how about Alcohol or Tobacco. They ruin more lives than pot. Pot is not the gateway drug. Most people who try the hardcore drugs usually take alcohol and tobacco first. The biggest gateway drug out there is alcohol.
Losers? Let's take the Grateful Dead. They are not losers in the economic sense of the word. They may have been pot heads but they were not losers. There are a lot of pot heads out there work and have children and pay taxes are in the upper tax brackets. Pot is less toxic to the body than alcohol.
This coming from someone who doesnít do drugs (without a prescription), drinks, or smokes but has done his homework.

To bad its not up to you what people do with their lives or what I can do with my body. But hey, if you want to play the anecdote game to decide whats legal and whats not thats cool too.

I know a doctor, several students, ex-DEA agent, and a whole family who smokes pot that are some of the richest people I've ever met. By anyones definition they are succeseful and productive citizens.

I also know that most of my family are severe alcoholics, who've literally wasted their whole lives and millions of dollars feeding their addiction. Most of them are burnt out loser white trash now and I couldent be happier to rid of them.

People who think they have some right to control what others do privatley are everything that is NOT American.

Of course successful people do it (my fucking valedictorian from high school smoked pot EVERY weekend). Successful people rape, murder, kill, and have gay sex in the bathroom in the Capitol building. (it must be RIGHT if they do it) My point is it can't be controlled, neither can alcohol. (I am not an abolishionist, of course) Addictive substances simply are a plague, and to allow, justify, much less legalize any such substances is destroying lives. Like u said Jim Morrison, addictive substances fucked ur family, but rich Republican pot heads next store are doing fine. CRasch?? Did you really use the Grateful Dead as your example....I can say nothing more, you yourself must be a pothead, cause every reefer smoking dumbass I know brings them up to justify there wastral ways.

You're missing the point. You dont have any right to decide what people do with their lives or their bodys. You are using the government to enforce your views on morality.

That you view pot use as a plague ( ) is only a testament to your ignorance.

Coffee is more addictive than Marijuana and is not good for the body in the amounts that addicts drink.

Online Games are extremely addictive, and cause people to forego their responsibilities to keep playing.

Go go double standard.

Besides, what right do you have to tell me what I should do with my life? Unless I am hurting you or others, then what business or interest do you have in my behavior?

You've earned three of these:

Yo, Ragmanlaw. I don't do any drugs. If you don't belive me, you can ask Ice|Burn. And I have been drug tested serveral times. I don't even drink or smoke.

Lets take a certain addictive substance. Itís been know to make people do stupid things. Risk their own lives doing extremely dangerous actions to get a fix of this addictive substance. People have died trying to get it and have been known to die from it.

Obviously, you havenít done any homework on studding and researching on what the scientific data is.

You sound like a moral crusader wasting our hard earn tax dollars on stupid laws and codes. It cost more than $24,000 per person, per year to keep a so-called non-violent, tax paying, job working, brother; sister; mom; dad; grand-dad/mom; other family member, church going, social volunteer, pot-heads in prison. Do you moral crusaders give a damn about this?

didnt read the whole thread, but has anyone posted/heard about the "drug company conspiracy"? that legalizing it would cost drug manufacturers a lot of revenue from people using it to relieve pain (and who knows what else)?

dont know if theres any evidence toward it (besides the obvious speculation that corporations run our government, and mj could take the place of some drugs on the market)
